1
Oooh oooh, New York (x2)
2
Grew up in a town,
3
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
4
Noise is always loud
5
There are sirens all around
6
And the streets are mean
7
If I could make it here
8
I could make it anywhere
9
That's what they say
10
Seeing my face in lights
11
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway
12
Even if it ain't all it seems
13
I got a pocketful of dreams
14
Baby, I'm from
15
[Chorus]
16
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
17
There's nothing you can't do
18
Now you're in New York
19
These streets will make you feel brand new
20
Big lights will inspire you
21
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
22
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew
23
Ladies work so hard
24
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
25
Preachers pray to God
26
Hail a gypsy cab
27
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
28
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
29
For more than from an empty fridge
30
I'm going to make it by any means
31
I got a pocketful of dreams
32
Baby, I'm from
33
[Chorus: x2]
34
One hand in the air for the big city
35
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
36
No place in the world that can compared
37
Put your lighters in the air
38
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah
39
[Chorus]
